East London Camera Trail

On Sunday I did a half-day photography course around East London with our friend Nick Gee and my friend Sarah from work. It was a very basic introductory course, which was exactly what I needed. Rather than using the automatic settings on the camera, all the pics were taken with manual settings which isn't nearly as daunting now as it was before! I really liked the practical aspect of it and loved seeing a few very cool areas of East London I hadn't been to before.

We started near Liverpool Street Station. It was a cold, grim day so this series of pictures were all very grey -

From there we went via Spitalfields Market to Brick Lane. Moroccan food stall -
